Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 6 March, 2014 - The Quiksilver Pro and Roxy Pro Gold Coast sleep in another day. A lay day has been called and event organizers will reconvene at 7.15 a.m. local time (AEST) on Saturday, March 8 to check on conditions. Coastalwatch is forecasting a building swell over the late weekend as the result of a very easterly cyclone.

“The swell is similar size this morning morning with two-to-three foot waves and clean conditions,” said head judge Rich Porta. “Opportunity for scoring is still low today so we've called a lay day for both the men and the women. The forecast still looks promising for the coming days, and we'll return tomorrow morning to assess the conditions.”
